We should have daylight savings time year round

Interestingly (well to me anyways ), Arizona does not have daylight savings time. But Navajo nation (a very large indian reservation) does have daylight savings time. Navajo nation takes up a pretty good chunk of the state of Arizona.

Actually, the US did do a yearlong* Daylight Savings time experiment back in the days of the Oil Shocks, I think in 1975. It was a disaster for all involved because people sure as hell didn't like sending their 7 year olds walking to school in the dark, nor did they like seeing the sun rise past 8:00am, nor were we thrilled when it set around 9:00pm.

*Or maybe just an extended DST.

In the US these are good arguments, but go to the UK and this stuff happens even with DST. I'd like to see DST kept, and changed to a 2hr jump (staggered if needs be). Seeing the sun rise at 4:30am is a complete waste. There is no need for the sun to rise before 6am IMHO. The later it sets the better.

I'd like to see the UK on the same time zone as France so I don't have to change my watch whenever I hop the Channel for cheap booooze.
